One of the greatest moments you have been dreaming about since your childhood is your wedding. This is the greatest achievement of your love life. You expect everything to be perfect. This time, you will have more doubts. One of the common doubts that most people ask is “Do you wear your engagement ring on your wedding day?” If you are unclear about this, keep reading this article.

Before I begin to answer your question, let me explain the difference between a wedding ring and an engagement ring.

Wedding and engagement ring

An engagement ring usually symbolizes the commitment between each other whereas the Wedding ring usually symbolizes the everlasting love between the couple.

An engagement ring is given at the time of proposal and a wedding ring or band is exchanged in marriage. This is the basic difference between these two. Even though they both have their significance, the wedding ring is more important than the engagement ring.

Now, we have seen the difference between these two rings. But do you know the actual ring tradition?

Ring tradition

As per the tradition, the bride should wear her engagement ring on her right hand’s ring finger. And also, people usually wear their wedding ring on the left hand except for a few countries like India, etc. After the wedding ceremony, the bride wears her engagement ring above the top of the wedding ring.

From the tradition, the purpose of the engagement ring is to protect the wedding ring. That’s why they wear a wedding ring close to their hand followed by an engagement ring. This symbolizes this wedding ring is always close to their heart.

Suppose if your engagement ring doesn’t fit on your right hand, try to wear it on your pinky finger. There is no problem with it.

What do you do with your engagement ring on your wedding day?

If you are going to wear your engagement ring on your wedding day, make sure you follow these things.

Firstly, visit a nearby jeweler and ensure there is no damage to your engagement ring. If there is some damage, fix it before the wedding.

Secondly, wear it on your right hand and look at whether the ring is fitting perfectly or not.

If you ask me about wearing an engagement ring on the wedding day, I will say that depends on you. There are no hard rules like you should wear them for your wedding. So the choice is yours.

You can take off your engagement ring on your wedding day. That’s totally fine. You can wear them after your wedding ceremony.

Suppose you like to wear your engagement ring, there are two options. First, you can wear them on your right hand. And after your wedding ceremony, you can shift your engagement ring to your left hand above the wedding ring.

The second option is to wear it in your left hand. You don’t need to remove it before your wedding. After a few days, you can shift the order.

There is no compulsion to wear an engagement ring on your wedding day. That’s totally your wish. Hope this helps you.
